[Bug 446146] Re: Several Huawei USB dongle don't work with kernel 2.6.31-12.40 (2.6.31.1 update related)

[MrAuer]

This really should have been fixed before release. Lots of people are having a difficult time because of this issue.
Ive just been trying to tell, over IRC, how to get the kernel 2.6.31-15 installed when you have no network connection as the Huawei modem was the sole way to connect.

Now she has it installed, Huawei e160 modem, but Network manager does
not automatically see the modem, nor does it ask for the ISP info
automatically. She tells me NM sees that there is some modem, but does
not configure it correctly, nor does it bring up a connection. On Jaunty
all this happened automatically.

I have a e220, this had problems also - NM did not automatically
configure it, I needed to add the connection manually, and even then it
did not tell me I have a Huawei connected until AFTER I had configured
the connection (entered the ISP info and so on), and after that I had to
tell NM to Auto-connect or it would not connect.

There is still something fishy going on. Im in a bit of a hurry now, Ill
try to see about logs later. I cannot get to her logs, she lives across
the country and has no net conn on the machine now (with the e160)
